American and Russian armored vehicles collided this week in a Syrian Kurdish-controlled area, which led to the injury of four American soldiers.
The United States has taken a soft stance on the issue, prompting protests from Trump opponents.
The Financial Times quoted the commander-in-chief of the Russian military as saying that the country had previously informed the United States of the arrival of Russian troops in the area and that the United States was responsible.
The newspaper warned that the recent clash between American and Russian forces was unprecedented after the October 2019 clashes in northeastern Syria, and that this event indicates that the US and Russia are heading towards a serious clash in northeastern Syria. Middle East security expert Sam Heller told the newspaper that tensions between Russia and the United States are serious in northeastern Syria and that the United States may face more tensions in the Kurdish-controlled region of the war-torn country.
